Utility Warehouse (Telecom Plus) Discussion

I wonder how long it will be before Cardew comes back with his usual spam.

I was recently approached by a distributor, so I checked his prices against what I currently pay for Home phone and broadband, mobile phone and broadband, And Electricity. My current total costs for all those things are £125 per month. If I switched to UW and took all their best deals I would be paying £208.49 per month including the required £3.50 membership fee. I would also have to commit to a staggering 62 month mobile phone contract. There would be a chance of some cash back if I shop and buy petrol at Sainsbury, but I don't find them the cheapest place for my shopping habits. I could also earn some discounts for recommending other customers but how can I recommend something that I know not to be cheaper. My time with the Money Saving Expert has taught me to research and plan my buying carefully and the UW way of buying does not seem to fall in with that policy. In case you're wondering how I got my costs so much cheaper than UW it is;
Home phone and broadband £15 per month from Plusnet and Primus
Mobile phone and mobile broadband on a smartphone from T Mobile which includes a huge loyalty discount for £10 per month
Electricity for £100 per month. I live in a 3 bed flat and am on the Economy 7 no standing charge tariff with N Power.

Interesting first post.

LOL. Crikey, a 'thread reviver' from a first time poster. Has that ever happened before?

Hi Quentin :rotfl:

How sad and predictable.

Imagine the sheer agony experienced posting all that without mentioning 'busy fool' once?

I just can't believe someone would go to such lengths to lie/mess with a successful company like that.

Quentin was obviously some kind of failed salesman for the company, or he works for a competitor and is paid to muddy the waters.

A fleeting glance at their interim reports on the stock exchange and their share prices jumping all the time is obviously painting a different picture to someone who has an axe to grind.

I just cant believe someone would go to the lengths of signing up on here to make two posts like you have just made, bit hypocritical dont you think?

Things all quiet on the UW salesmen forum are they?

OVO signed up their 1,000,000th customer yet, Plush?


PS Nothing to do with the subject here but isn't this just utterly wonderful?
